Now that the UEB tables are in the liblouis svn we can test both 
translation and back-translation. The best tool for this is 
lou_allround, which is available if you have built liblouis on Linux or 
Mac. It is completely interactive. After you give it a table name you 
can type r for run and then type in anything you want. It will show both 
the translation and back-translation and will even tell you if the 
back-translation matches the original by displaying the message "perfect 
roundtrip!" 

If there is sufficient demand this facility can be made available on 
Windows through a BrailleBlaster subcommand.
